The entire Florida Peninsula and points north are poised to experience Hurricane Irma after the storm hugged Cuba's northern coastline. Thousands of Floridians who evacuated the Atlantic cost to Gulf Coast areas found their safe shelter under direct threat from Hurricane Irma as the forecast shifted W Friday night and Saturday. Hurricane Irma's prolonged interaction with Cuba diminished its strength to Category 3.
Irma is forecast to increase in strength as it crosses the FL Straits. The Florida Keys experienced strong outer bands while Irma grazed the N Cuba coastline.

Excellent advice!
The coriolis effect causes the flow patterns in temperate regions.
You might check with C. Crane or Vermont Country Store.
Good luck, Miss Didi!

Bookmarked. We use flashlights a lot as we live very rural and there are no streetlights, when it’s dark, it’s Dark!
Here’s a link to a great live animated Doppler weather map. You can drag the screen to any place in the world, add in clouds and other info if you like, via the “Layers” tab. You can also zoom in or out to your heart’s content.
It’s from the NY1 (New York 1) website.

Nahum 1:3-KJV
3 The Lord is slow to anger, and great in power, and will not at all acquit the wicked: the Lord hath his way in the whirlwind and in the storm, and the clouds are the dust of his feet.
Spare Thou , O’ Living God , Lord Almighty ; Florida and all of her good people . For You anything is possible , Thou commandeth nature ; the whirlwinds , the storms , the clouds , even the seas, All exist under Your Will . Spare Thou , dear sweet Lord ; Florida , and all those that live there . They are at Your mercy Lord . Please be merciful . Mahalo nui loa ke Akua !

Some who have been very worried to tears, to those who are basically taking a Doris Day song "Que Sera Sera" approach.
I say to all of them, Texans and I are saying prayers for you and Florida, and they are very appreciative of the thoughts.
We love the Luci lights. They are also compact and lightweight.
Should we use #WeAreHurricaneStrong or #FloridaStrong
Dear Non-Floridians,
Rules when discussing the hurricane with Floridians need to be put in place- and I have elected myself to make the rules. I held a fair election and I won by a unanimous vote.
...
Verry good post...I read it to my family...I will be praying and have been...and have seen prayers answered already...I believe if I were there my post would have almost been verbatim.
When all the videos load, click the play button on the master control separate from the 9 video sources, you’ll have them all on the same screen. I strongly recommend muting all the videos before hitting play.
Respectfully, please explain #1, about taping windows.
Aside from a waste of time and tape, what’s the problem?

Oh, I grew up in Wilmington, NC, Carolina Beach...I hear ya.
